Liber Studiorum: Watercress Gatherers, Rails Head, Ferry Bridge, Twickenham

Joseph Mallord William Turner

Cleveland Museum of Art

Sepia-toned landscape drawing of a river scene. The scene shows a small river flowing to the right; three people stand in or next to the river. A stone and wood bridge with a railing crosses the river on the left. Two people on the bridge carry baskets on their backs. The riverbank in the foreground slopes down to the river on the right. Trees and bushes line the river on both sides. A large wall appears in the background on the left, with a distant cityscape behind it. A boat floats on the river near a horse-drawn carriage on the left. The sky above is cloudy with rays of light emanating from behind clouds on the left. The image includes text at the bottom describing the scene and the artist.
